Blade of the Ronin

by Cannibal Ox

Arriving fourteen years after their legendary debut, the Harlem duo officially reunites for a highly anticipated sophomore record. Eschewing the original, defining production of El-P, the group enlists Bill Cosmiq to provide a similarly icy, dystopian boom-bap landscape. Vast Aire and Vordul Mega's abstract, complex lyricism continues to dissect the gritty realities of New York street life.
